I Don't Want A iPhone.

And I don't need one. As a matter of fact, I could care less; but apparently since Paris Hilton has destroyed any real research teams at various news sources, they had to have some filler and the iPhone was it.

I don't want the iPhone because it isn't cool, it is technologically speaking probably the best phone on the market. All of the issues people are complaining about are really non-issues, now that there will be true business e-mail support. The selective voicemail is awesome, the browser is awesome and AT&T bumped Edge for better performance, auto WiFi is awesome, and there isn't anything close to 8 GB currently available in the micro SD card slot market for the next year. (Samsung announced production this time next year of an 8 GB card, assuming whatever devices are out support it)

But the fact of the matter is that I dropped my iPod for everything short of hiking/skiing years ago. I've got a mp3 cd-player in my car and 700 megs of mp3s are more than enough for my average driving, really can you fit entire bands catalogs on a single cd, which is a medium that cars are designed to carry. I'm never walking anywhere for more than 10 minutes as I live in a city were you really have to drive anywhere. I'd rather watch videos on my laptop or HDTV than on a 7" screen (the same reason I don't own a PSP), I don't need to e-mail on the fly, I barely use text messages; I use my phone to make phone calls. My phone was free, the iPhone is at least $500 before service plan.

Now don't get me wrong, the iPhone is cool, it is nice, it has a lot of good features for people who are always on the run especially if they have business needs... but I don't fit those requirements, so I'm ok. But to each his own.
